Since it was founded back in 2009, Capital FM’s Summertime Ball has been a major fixture in London’s jam-packed summer festival calendar, with recent iterations seeing the likes of Kylie Minogue, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sheeran performing sets filled with chart-toppers in front of a packed out Wembley Stadium.
So we’re thrilled to hear news of the 2025 lineup for the long-standing summer tradition, which is returning in June. Following announcement that the Capital FM-helmed event will be returning (it was announced on Friday April 25), yesterday and this morning (Monday April 28 and Tuesday April 29) we’ve had both batches of names on the lineup. And, fair warning, it’s looking huge.
None other than Mariah Carey will be leading the bill this year with Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff, while also on the lineup are the likes of Tate McRae, Myles Smith, JADE, Benson Boone, KSI, Lola Young, Busted vs McFly and Rita Ora. See, we told you the lineup was massive. Capital FM’s breakfast show trio (Jordan North, Chris Stark and Siân Welby) will once again be at the helm.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 edition of Capital Summertime Ball, as well as the full lineup.
